NEVER read the manual.  Listen to the people on the list.

I think I just killed my machine.  I applied the database/HIPER (497 fixes)
and the cume (55 BIG fixes).  Database/hiper went fine, and cume loaded
fine, but when it was setting the apply flasg, I got a LINK/LOADER error.

LINK LOADER ENDED ABNORMALLY, RCffff, qualifier X'0000000000040000'.

The good news is I THINK this is a staging error, not a link/loader full
error.  I will find out after the IPL.  If it's a link/loader full, I think
I'm hosed.

The ongoing saga, man.
